White Bouquet A Labyrinth of Symbolism in the work of Oleksandr Dubovyk

in collaboration with Dom Master Klass and Kyiv Art Sessions
1 – 10 July | Weekdays 4pm – 7pm | Weekends 11am – 4pm*

Dubovyk’s paintings are a joy for the eye, soul, and spirit. They are abstract yet concrete… The artist offers each of us the universal exuberance of a magical, sacred ceremonial. – Jean-Claude Marcadé

Oleksandr Dubovyk (b. 1931, Kyiv) stands among the most distinguished figures of contemporary Ukrainian art – an original thinker whose intellectual and artistic trajectory spans nearly a century of cultural history. Emerging from the unofficial artistic milieu of the Soviet era, he developed a highly individual visual philosophy that he termed “suggestive realism” – a language of signs through which images transcend representation and open toward deeper metaphysical meanings.

At the centre of this symbolic universe stands the ‘White Bouquet’, Dubovyk’s most recognisable and enduring motif. It stands in deliberate opposition to the notion of universal “nothingness”, becoming, instead, a symbol of creation – a symbolic window into another dimension of reality.
Dubovyk’s canvases unfold as visual palimpsests – labyrinths of signs where abstraction, memory, and philosophical reflection intertwine, inviting the viewer to navigate between symbols and secrets, between visible form and hidden order.

Entrance is free
